Always worth a look, only need to remove rearmost undertray for access.

Is the pivot seized on the end of the cable gearbox end?

Did you fit oil filter first then the cap or clip the filter into the cap then fit as one unit?

Did you do the oil change yourself?

Think there is a floating bracket that goes into that slot that the two bolts screw into. Think pt no is 332121, cannot find any so may have to make your own.

I did have to push it until the CEL blinked on me hahaha, i had to take off my contraption of the EVRY mod that time. im now currently facing the issue when I fitted a VNT where it chokes at some point and then runs normally in a few seconds then...

Cancel the road tax asap.

Straight edge across front face of timing chest and measure from straight edge to the face of the gears? Using same straight edge see if the timing chest itself is bent.
